audiophile rockers

I was listening to Steely Dan's Katy Lied CD ( played the LP endlessly in the seventies) and was reading the updated liner notes by Becker and Fagen...they were mastering the sound with double Maggies and an Audio Reseach D-76 amp back in 1974. Are there an other audiophile rockers like those two?

The Grateful Dead's 'Wall of Sound' was forty eight 300-watt per channel McIntosh model MC 2300's. Bob Weir still prefers it on stage and at home.

Hi all ! I read somewhere that the highs on Katy Lied was flawed due to a bad adjustment on the eq , or something like that . Also , that Becker and Fagen never listened to the final album because of this .

Katy Lied was one of the first albums recorded with dbx noise reduction. Unfortunately the encoder malfunctioned, and they were never able to recover the original fidelity, even when dbx tried to hand tweak a decoder to complement the flaws in the faulty encoder.

I totally believe that about Katy Lied! I always wondered why it sounded dull.
